Only one team playing much rugby. Canada showing some character but they obviously don't have the same depth as the US to handle injuries.

If I was Canada I'd kick for points at every opportunity when it is XV vs XV. They don't look capable of scoring a try today. Also O'Leary's kicking has not been good. Don't know if that will have to do with the strapping on his leg.

The announcers were talking about rhe sport growing in spades in San Diego. Where is it growing in Canada? Nowhere.

At least Anscombe has made the forwards somewhat respectable. The win/losses hasn't changed but at least our 15's team isn't playing 7's like it was under Crowley. Can't blame Anscombe completely, he can only do so much with what he has.

Only place Rugby is growing in Canada right now is with League. Where the Wolfpack are getting decent crowds, good results and a few code converts.

League isn't growing in Canada, especially anymore than Union.

Wolfpack aren't getting decent crowds consistently, most tickets are given away for free, and they play in Toronto and are winning...so of course people will jump on the wagon. As soon as they start losing and aren't branded as "new" they will fade away. They are getting decent media coverage however.
